Sometimes random thoughts on food and wine and the pleasures they provide.

While I'm Away....
While I'm not feeling much like writing these days, check out this post at Smithsonian's Food and Think blog: Thirty Years of Food in Music Videos. When I can't sleep, sometimes I try to compile a list of food references in music. Cheeseburger in Paradise, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie, God Didn't Make Little Green Apples - how many can you think of? Lisa Bramen's post on food in music videos is a kick. Enjoy!

Beach Food
Vacations create memories. Sometimes they recreate them. I ate my first red skinned new potatoes at the beach as a child. I drank my first Sprite from a soft drink machine at the beach years before it was available in the local grocery store. In my twenties, I accompanied friends to a conference at Myrtle Beach where most of the attendees were New Yorkers. We took them to a typical seafood restaurant one evening and ordered hush puppies. None of the New Yorkers had ever seen a hush puppy and asked, "Why would you eat donuts with fish?" They were soon initiated to the world of Southern food.
I have eaten more than my share of hush puppies on this trip. And Southern fried fish as well. We randomly selected a restaurant named Mr. Fish here in Myrtle Beach. I ordered the fried shrimp and Larry chose the crab and crawfish cakes. Neither of us had ever eaten crawfish, but we both liked these cakes. They were fried – how could you go wrong!
The hush puppies were divine; dense and sweet and perfectly crisp. I ordered the house special condiment, blackberry wasabi sauce for an extra 25 cents. It was great on the shrimp. It had a sweet initial flavor, followed by a serious wasabi kick. I need to do a lot of beachcombing to walk off all the fried calories from this week.

Thanks for the Memories
As an impoverished college student, I didn't have the funds to purchase a campus meal plan from the cafeteria. I ate a lot of oatmeal and beefaroni cooked in my popcorn popper that stayed hidden in my dorm room closet. But there were a few economical places that were favorites for dining out with friends on special occasions. One of those places was Bullock's Barbeque in Durham.
Every now and then, during my freshman year, girls from my dorm would pile into the cars of upperclassmen (freshmen weren't allowed cars on campus) and head to Bullock's for an early dinner. You had to be there by 5pm or suffer a long wait. And they often ran out of pie. We would order our pies first and insist that the waitress place them on our table at the beginning of the meal to ensure that we actually got them. I always ordered the combination barbeque and Brunswick stew plate, served with hush puppies and coleslaw. I think it cost about $4 back then.
For years, I didn't know if Bullock's still existed. Then I saw an article about their barbecue in Bon Appetit magazine. Rejoice! So over the next few years, we tried to dine at Bullock's twice, but they were always closed when we were passing through Durham to visit family.
This trip, we were in luck. We landed in Raleigh on Saturday afternoon and my priority was to eat at Bullock's before we headed to the beach. I skipped lunch in anticipation of our early afternoon dinner. There was no wait at 4:15, but by 5:30, the line was out the door. Some things never change.
We both ordered my standard combo (now $7.80), even though the menu has greatly expanded in the last (almost) 40 years. Has it really been that long??!! They even serve quesadillas now, which I had never heard of in 1972. I must admit it wasn't as amazing as I remembered, but I thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgic experience. We were too full for dessert, but for old time's sake, I had to order pie just to see if they had it. We split a slice of chocolate chess pie, a Southern specialty. I won't need to eat again for days.

Good Times
Nothing beats a good burger. Or good friends. We've spent this week in the Adirondacks with friends from long ago. We met them through a couple who were mutual friends back when they first moved to California in 1986. I was instrumental in connecting her with her California job, so we were off to a good start.
The six of us spent a lot of time together over the next three years before they headed back to the East Coast for career reasons. They moved around while the rest of us stayed put, but we always stayed in touch and sometimes vacationed together. Thirteen years ago, she and I discovered the lifeless body of our beloved friend who had introduced us. She had lost her battle with breast cancer.
The sudden death was traumatic to us all. We all huddled with our friend's husband and family for the next week, stunned and distraught, grieving together. We never talk about that week now. But we remember the good times.
It's hard to believe it's been nine years since we've seen such dear friends. We have certainly aged and three more of us have battled cancer. So far we are winning. This week we have enjoyed hiking in the forest, swimming in the icy waters of Lake Champlain and watching the ever-changing character of the lake from our porch. We have laughed at each other's jokes (both good and bad), caught up on our stories and languished in comfortable silence.
For our final dinner together, they chose their favorite vacation burger joint. I chuckle to think they were worried we would not find the Bay View Diner fancy enough. We're the ones who eat street food in third world countries. In Peru we dined on dried potatoes tossed on a blanket in the dirt when offered by an indigenous tribe in the highlands. A burger joint is pretty high class in comparison. And the burgers were top notch; served with Adirondack fries – sort of like warm potato chips. But nothing beats sharing the burgers with the people you love.

Summer Substitute Salad
Heirloom tomatoes symbolize summer. But this year, like all the other summer produce in Northern California, the tomatoes are late. We've had none of our usual Sunday lunches composed of at least six varieties of tomatoes. But on our last trip to the farmers' market we purchased one large Purple Cherokee tomato at an exorbitant price. I just couldn't resist.
To make up for the lack of tomatoes, I substituted our other summer favorite, Brentwood corn, and tried this recipe from the San Jose Mercury News, "Corn Ceviche." I thought you needed fish to have ceviche, but in spite of the misnomer, it looked like a good summer vegetable dish. It doesn't get much easier or tastier.
Corn Ceviche with Heirloom Tomatoes
(2 servings)
Adapted from Robert Sapirman, executive chef, Citrus
1 lime
½ small red onion, minced
1 Thai bird chile, minced, including ribs and seeds
¼ cup cilantro leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Large heirloom tomato, sliced
Grate the zest of the lime then juice the lime. Mix the lime zest and juice with the grilled corn kernels, onion, chile, cilantro and oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve the corn over slices of the heirloom tomato.
We are currently resting our minds and bodies lounging by Lake Champlain in the Adirondacks with dear friends. Yesterday I spent the afternoon watching the leaves dance in the wind over the water. This is a much needed break before I return to civilization to visit family, then back to begin maintenance immunotherapy and wrap up my last weeks of work.

Distractions Abound
Although we continue to cook and eat, I've been unable to focus on writing lately. The accumulation of almost 18 years of papers, emails and files need to be sorted and dispositioned as I prepare to leave my job (and maybe my career). I'm contemplating what I might do next. I have been concerned with illness and tragedy in the lives of my family and friends. And I'm faced with preparing for a whirlwind vacation from West to East where we'll visit both family and friends, staying 8 different places in 17 days. I'm tired just thinking about it.
Last night we entertained friends for dinner. The meal was a resounding success, even though every item on the menu but one was a first time recipe. I'll start with the dessert since that's the only photo I took. I wanted something light for a summer evening, but decided on gelato too late to make it ourselves. We purchased limoncello gelato, but I did make these shortbread cookies. I served the gelato with a splash of Kim of Liv Life's homemade limoncello on top, along with the cookies. One guest requested a cup of tea after the gelato and polished off most of the rest of the cookies. Need I say they were good???!!! And really easy to make, too.
Lemon-Lime Basil Shortbread Cookies
(from Bon Appetit Magazine)
1 c all-purpose flour
½ c powdered sugar, plus more for pressing cookies
1 stick unsalted butter, chilled, cut into ½" cubes
2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, sliced
1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp lime zest, finely grated
¼ tsp kosher salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place ingredients in food processor and pulse until large, moist clumps form. Measure tablespoonfuls of dough and roll between your palms to form balls. Place on a large baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Lightly dust the bottom of a flat measuring cup with powdered sugar and press dough balls into flat 2 inch rounds. Bake until edges are brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
It was fun planning a menu for people who don't like salmon, cheese, spicy food, and can't eat nuts or fruit. These are the staples or our regular cuisine. For appetizers we had garlic shrimp, steamed artichokes and La Brea rosemary bread with a garlic wine dipping sauce accompanied by La Honda Sauvignon Blanc. The main course was skewers of grilled chicken with mint and red onions, Greek salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and Feta cheese (on the side) with tzatziki and fresh pita bread. A second bottle of sauvignon blanc was consumed; this time we chose Kendall Jackson.
Maybe soon, life will become more normal.

Homeschoolers diverse
As a Virginia homeschooler, I wish to thank you for your fair and thorough article, "Home for the holidays" [Cover story, December 18].
You present a realistic picture of the diversity of the homeschool community and the reasons that parents choose to homeschool. It's very refreshing!
There is one note I'd like to pass to you: The Home School Legal Defense Association, despite its reported membership number (and many doubt the accuracy of that), still represents only about 10 percent of the homeschool population. This is their own figure, and it puts them in perspective as a clear minority– albeit a visible, loud, and moneyed minority– among the broad spectrum of homeschoolers.
Thanks again for the terrific article with its endearing photos. I'm passing along the link to the statewide e-mail lists. It's a nice "present" for homeschoolers' holidays.

The U.S. General Services Administration today is commemorating its 60th anniversary as it engages in one of its its most challenging assignments ever—helping to achieve the goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"We will not miss a beat as we turn 60," said GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty. "GSA's role is to help green the government, move America toward energy independence, increased transparency and accountability and much, much more.
GSA also plays a leading role in preserving historic buildings, supplying U.S. troops fighting for American ideals, helping small business succeed, supporting citizens during national crises, providing world-class child care for working parents and using technology to strengthen the bond between citizens and their government.
"We're taking this moment to celebrate our rich history while taking full advantage of a unique opportunity to contribute to the nation's economic recovery," Prouty added, noting that 60 years after its creation, GSA is among the government's top best federal places to work.
GSA is modeling energy independence. It's already spent $287 million in Recovery Act funds to add fuel-efficient vehicles to the government fleet. More orders are in the works. GSA is also investing $5.5 billion in Recovery Act funds in greening federal buildings, courthouses and land ports of entry. Projects are being funded across the country, providing benefit for local and state economies, with at least one GSA project related to the Recovery Act in every state.
"Our 60th anniversary slogan says it all: A Legacy of Service, a Pursuit of Excellence," Prouty said. "After six decades we're just hitting our prime."
About GSA
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers. Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than 11 percent of the government's total procurement dollars and $24 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

Did you know? GSA's first major renovation project was a complete rebuilding of the White House that required "stripping it down to four walls without a roof," in the words of General Jess Larson, the first GSA Administrator.

Winged eye liner doesn't have to be black to look chic. Take a cue from this cobalt cat eye, and use the tips below from makeup artist Lauren Cosenza to copy this cool-girl look.
1. Create a winged liner look. Draw on a cat eye with a eyeliner brush that's dipped in gel liner. Try Rimmel London ScandalEyes Waterproof Gel Liner in Deep Blue.
2. Intensify the blue hue. Using slanted eyeliner brush, top the gel liner with a brighter-pigmented cobalt blue shade of eyeshadow, like Maybelline New York Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in Brash Blue.
3. Add sheen. Top your entire look with an eye gloss to give it that wet effect. Use Rouge Bunny Rouge Eye Gloss.
Finally, pin and Instagram your chic eye look!
Are you going to try this bold cat eye? What is your favorite spring beauty trend? Let us know in the comments!

Tactics designed to limit potential abuse of opioid painkillers while maintaining pain control, as outlined by the Alliance of Community Health Plans, can be easily replicated elsewhere, advocates believe.
The methods -- already in use by many health plans -- encourage providers to adopt evidence-based prescribing guidelines, work with pain specialists to transition off highly addictive opioids, and store care plans in patients' electronic medical records.
"I think that what we've done can be absolutely replicated in other settings," Joel Hyatt, MD, assistant medical director at Southern California Permanente Medical Group, told MedPage Today. "But it does take physician leadership. I don't think this is the kind of thing that can be either legislated or mandated by a health plan."
Opioid abuse and overdose has received increasing attention, and at least part of the healthcare community has tried to mobilize to reduce it. Four times more Americans died from prescription opioid abuse in 2009 than in the decade prior.
The alliance's report gives examples of how various health plans are combating the problem. For example, at the Kaiser Permanente group, only oncology, pain management, and hospice physicians can prescribe oxycodone (OxyContin) and oxymorphone (Opana).
"We've embedded decision support or alerts that pop up whenever I want to prescribe an opioid medication," Hyatt said, referring to Kaiser's vast electronic medical record system.
The system will suggest alternatives to medication for pain management such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
"It doesn't prohibit any of our providers from prescribing this medication." It does inform, educate, and provide links to clinical practice guidelines and suggest pain management consultation, Hyatt said.
Also, Kaiser's pharmacies don't fill prescriptions when there are questions about possible misuse and abuse.
In the last 2 years, Kaiser has reduced the prescribing on OxyContin by 70% while offering what plan officials believe is good pain management. In that time, they've also reduced the prescribing of brand-name opioids such as Vicodin, Norco, and Lortab -- drugs with a high street value for diversion -- by 80%.
Those are just some of the many examples of steps being taken to prevent opioid abuse.
"I really haven't heard of any idea I think is a bad idea," Andrew Kolodny, MD, chair of psychiatry at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, told MedPage Today.
Even if practices don't have a vast electronic medical record, there are simple steps physicians can take to reduce opioid abuse, such as educating patients about the risks of the opioids, cross-checking names against a controlled substance prescribing database to see how often patients have received such drugs, and even testing blood for traces of the drug before writing a prescription.
"If you're not doing those extra things, you probably shouldn't be prescribing opioids long term," Kolodny said.
The real answer to the drug abuse is to start fewer people on this treatment in the first place, physicians said. And there is no evidence that higher-dose regimens are more effective.
"Long-term use of opioids is not an evidence-based practice," Michael Von Korff, ScD, senior investigator at Group Health in Seattle, told MedPage Today. "It's not going to be a simple solution to chronic pain."
There are big individual differences in how patients respond. Some do well and others end up addicted. "It's a treatment that should be undertaken very, very cautiously," Von Korff said.
At Group Health Cooperative, all patients on chronic opioid therapy must develop a care plan with their physician, discuss the risks and benefits of treatment, and obtain instructions for follow-up. Doctors refer patients on high doses to pain specialists if their underlying condition isn't improving. That guideline became state law this year.
Between 2007 and 2011, Group Health cut in half the percentage of noncancer patients on high-dose opioids and reduced the average daily dose of painkillers by a third.
Pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and physician groups also need to join the game, advocates said. The American Medical Association and state medical societies have largely been silent on the issue but could play a huge role in doctor habits.
"It's not just the individual physician acting alone," Hyatt said. "I think there are physician groups that could take on this opportunity and challenge ... and make it part of their agenda."
The AMA took strong exception to Hyattâs claim that it hasnât done enough to promote safe prescribing habits.
"The AMA has devoted significant resources on several fronts to combat prescription drug diversion and abuse while preserving access to medically necessary treatment for pain," AMA President Jeremy Lazarus, MD, told MedPage Today in a statement.
"We support rapid implementation of medically appropriate policies at the federal and state levels to address both the supply and demand side of this epidemic," he continued. âEqually important, the AMA and its partners in the medical community have committed resources to promote physician education and awareness, as well as strategies to treat addiction and reduce the incidence of overdose and death.â

VANCOUVER, BC – A sensational second-half brace from Camilo salvaged an important point for Vancouver Whitecaps FC (11W-11L-9D) in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Portland Timbers (12W-5L-13D) Sunday at BC Place.
The Brazilian striker scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season within the span of three minutes late in the second half to help keep Whitecaps FC in contention for the final Western Conference playoff berth.
Camilo's second tally was a brilliant scissor-kick volley that will no doubt be considered for MLS Goal of the Year. The goal leveled the game at 2-2 after Canadian Will Johnson put Portland ahead just a minute earlier.
With the crowd on their feet, the 'Caps had at least three chances in stoppage time but Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts made a pair of game-saving stops as the Cascadia rivals played to their third straight draw this season.
With three matches remaining in the regular season, the 'Caps are now six points out of the final playoff position, jointly held by LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids. Qualifying for the post-season remains a possibility, as Whitecaps FC meet Colorado twice in a home and home series to end the season.
Martin Rennie made three changes to his starting lineup after last weekend's 1-0 loss to Real Salt Lake. With Kenny Miller (right adductor tightness) unavailable for the second straight week, second-year striker Darren Mattocks replaced Tommy Heinemann atop Vancouver's attack. Midfielder Daigo Kobayashi also took the place of Russell Teibert, while Matt Watson replaced Gershon Koffie in midfield.
Kobayashi and Mattocks both looked very lively early on, as the 'Caps took the game to their Pacific Northwest rivals for the better part of the first half-hour.
Mattocks had a crack from about 40 yards in the 10th minute, but his long-range effort sailed just wide. The Jamaican had another opportunity a few minutes later after Kobayashi and midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker combined brilliantly in midfield.
With two Timbers hot on his trail, Kobayashi played a cheeky back-heel pass to Reo-Coker, who then slipped an inviting through ball into the Timbers box. A streaking Mattocks got on the end of it but his promising attempt was deflected away for a corner just in the nick of time.
At the other end of the pitch, striker Maximillano Urruti looked like the most dangerous Portland player in the opening stages of the match. The Argentinian nearly opened the scoring in the 17th minute after Jack Jewsbury sent a low cross into the box, but Urruti's first-time effort just missed the top right corner of the goal.
Urruti was involved again in the 39th minute, as he made a charging run through midfield with only Jay DeMerit to beat, but the 'Caps captain executed a well-timed sliding tackle to keep the Timbers at bay.
There wasn't much DeMerit could have done in the 41st minute, however, when Darlington Nagbe launched a long-range strike beyond the reach of David Ousted's sprawling arms and into the top left corner of the goal.
To their credit, the Timbers stuck with the play after a slow start and were rewarded with a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Rennie's side didn't disappear, however, and came out of the interval looking energized and desperate for an equalizer. They came within inches of doing so just three minutes into the second half. After a Mattocks pass eluded Jordan Harvey, Watson found himself alone at the top of the box but the Englishman's left-footed effort was deflected just wide.
The 'Caps continued to dictate the play following the early opportunity, which seemed to inject some life into the stadium. Just after the hour mark, Camilo tiptoed around two defenders into the box and fired a low drive from a tight angle but Ricketts made a kick save to keep the Timbers ahead.
Camilo would not be denied on this day, however. The Brazilian striker brought the crowd to its feet with one of his patent free-kick tallies from 30 yards as the 'Caps finally mustered an equalizer in the 76th minute.
Just as the goal was being announced in stadium, the Timbers stunned the home crowd as Johnson found the back of the net from the top of the box to give Portland a 2-1 advantage.
Their lead would not last long, as Camilo responded again to cap off a frantic three minutes – this time with a spectacular scissor-kick volley from inside the box.
The Brazilian's two goals brings his total to 18 on the MLS season, just one behind league-leader Marco Di Vaio for the Golden Boot. Young-Pyo Lee picked up the assist on the goal with the cross from the right flank.
The South Korean fullback almost gave Vancouver the advantage in stoppage time after he faked a cross from a similar area and let loose a left-footed strike from inside the box, but Ricketts tipped Lee's effort just over the bar.
The 'Caps had at least two more opportunities in the dying stages of the match – both through second-half substitute Kekuta Manneh, but it was not to be as one of the most entertaining MLS matches to date at BC Place ended in a 2-2 draw.
There won't be much time to rest for Whitecaps FC, as they're right back at it Wednesday against Seattle Sounders FC. The 'Caps currently trail Seattle by just one point in the Cascadia Cup standings, but the Sounders still have one more meeting against Portland.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. PT at CenturyLink Field.

Deadly Weekend Twisters in the Midwest. Forecasters Predict Worst May Be Yet to Come
Deadly tornadoes ripped through part of the Midwest over the weekend including a wide swath from Arkansas to Iowa. 18 people have been killed in the aftermath of at least 31 tornadoes leaving a path of destruction and destroyed homes along the way.
One person was killed and two injured in Keokuk County, Iowa when a twister touched down and caused extensive property damage.
A suburb of Little Rock Arkansas was one of the hardest hit areas when a half-mile wide tornado touched down Sunday afternoon.
According to reports by NBC News, witnesses say the sky turned "completely black" before turning houses and businesses into a "pile of matchsticks."
Forecasters say the worst may yet come as the tornado threat remains high for across Mississippi, northwest Alabama and the western half of Tennessee.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a long-running television program produced by the BBC about a mysterious time-travelling adventurer known only as "The Doctor", a Time Lord from the planet of Gallifrey, who explores time and space with various companions (primarily human females) in his TARDIS. It is currently the longest-running science-fiction series broadcast on television, spanning twenty-six years on its original run, and 14 actors have headlined the series as the Doctor. As a complete list of quotations from all eras of the show is too large to be contained on one page, this article has been split into subarticles, with quotations organised by which actor was portraying the Doctor at the time the episode was originally broadcast.
Quotations about the programmeEdit
- Alphabetized by author
- Doctor Who can help us contemplate a range of different moral and religious scenarios, allowing us to explore in a fictional setting the way we think about beliefs and ethical viewpoints which differ from our own.
The breadth and depth of its mythology help us do this, whatever our view on religion.
This is a show that attacks false gods and superstition, while at the same time admitting that immortal beings beyond our perception exist.
While it has never pronounced directly upon the existence of God, Doctor Who's narrative is open enough to be read positively by both believers and atheists as supporting their world view.
- Andrew Crome, "Doctor Who: Time travel through faith", BBC, (22 November 2013).
- Because it's the best idea ever invented in the history of the world!
- Russell T. Davies, responding to the question, "Why do you think people love Doctor Who so much?" on BBC Wales Today (20 July 2004)
- I would have loved to have done a Star Trek crossover. The very first year, we talked about it. Then Star Trek finally went off air. Landing the Tardis on board the Enterprise would have been magnificent. Can you imagine what their script department would have wanted, and what I would have wanted? It would have been the biggest battle.
- Russell T Davies "David Tennant", team-tennant.com
- Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurantist drivel; Star Trek can turn your brains to puree of bat guano; and the greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who! And I'll take you all on, one-by-one or all in a bunch to back it up!
- Harlan Ellison, recalling an address to science-fiction fans, in his Introduction to Doctor Who and the Talons of Weng-Chiang (1977) by Terrance Dicks, p. vii
- In 1963 the BBC premiered a show about an alien
Who traveled through space and time to combat the powers of evil. …
The show has been running in Britain almost fifty years,
with many different actors in the role of The Doctor. …
One thing is consistent though and this is why the show is so beloved by geeks and nerds —
It's all about the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism!
Intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism!
And if there is any hope for any of us in this giant explosion in which we inhabit then surely that's it:
Intellect and romance triumph over brute force and cynicism!
- Craig Ferguson, in a comedic musical tribute to Doctor Who made in November 2010, which was not aired for legal reasons, but "leaked" to the internet, and finally aired with legal clearance on The Late Late Show (6 January 2011) · Transcript of lyrics (with some minor errors), online at Forbes (1 December 2010)
- I don't know what it's like to be God — obviously …until that very first moment when you get to sit down and type the words in your script: INTERIOR. TARDIS. … Suddenly I got a very good idea of what it must feel like. I went: "I'm writing it now this scene in the Tardis. I'm writing it!" And that was amazing, it was wonderful.
- Neil Gaiman, on writing the script for the episode The Doctor's Wife (originally titled House of Nothing), as quoted in "Neil Gaiman reveals power of writing Doctor Who" by Tim Masters at BBC News (24 May 2010)
- Doctor Who has never pretended to be hard science fiction … At best Doctor Who is a fairytale, with fairytale logic about this wonderful man in this big blue box who at the beginning of every story lands somewhere where there is a problem.
- Neil Gaiman, as quoted in "Neil Gaiman reveals power of writing Doctor Who" by Tim Masters at BBC News (24 May 2010)
- No, look, there's a blue box. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it's meant to go. And when it turns up, there's a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed cos he's awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'.
- Neil Gaiman "If This is Sunday Than I Must be at Home" journal.neilgaiman.com, April 7, 2011.
- He's just really unlikely as a hero — which makes him so brilliant, I think, because he's like this mad professor.
- Karen Gillan, in Doctor Who Rewind (2011) by BBC America
- When Russell T Davies relaunched the show in 2005, I watched it from the start. I thought it was fantastic. If there's any secret to its resurgence, it's due to the show's complete lack of cynicism. Both Davies and Steven Moffat are lifelong Doctor Who fans and the love shines through every episode.
- Peter Jackson, in "Lord of the Whovians" in Entertainment Weekly (29 March 2013), p. 37
- Last year Matt Smith was asked by a Kiwi journailist if they would ever film an episode in New Zealand, and he said, "Yes, and we can get Peter Jackson to direct it." The newspaper contacted me for comment and I said "Great, just name a time and place and I'll be there." I suspect Steven Moffat thinks I'm joking, but I saw him at Christmas and I assured him I'm not. They don't even have to pay me — but I have got my eye on one of those nice new gold-colored Daleks. They must have a spare one (hint, hint).
- Peter Jackson, in "Lord of the Whovians" in Entertainment Weekly (29 March 2013), p. 37
- In their book-length analysis of Doctor Who, John Tulloch and Manuel Alvarado characterize the political outlook of the program as consistent with the BBC's particular brand of political neutrality: skeptical, aggressive, quizzical, and amused towards all forms of political power. In Doctor Who the attitude gets further flavored by the Doctors "Romantic" hero mystique. This characteristic allows him to adopt a "liberal-populist role in criticizing 'sectionalist' forces of 'Left' and 'Right,' and in rebuking the 'official' and the powerful, whether in big business, the military, government or 'militant' unions." … The political form that most resembles these critiques is liberal democracy, which places sovereignty in the hands of the people.
- David Layton, referring to Doctor Who : The Unfolding Text (1984) by John Tulloch and Manuel Alvarado, in The Humanism of Doctor Who : A Critical Study in Science Fiction and Philosophy (2012), Ch. 10 : Politics
- What would be the point of having this job if I didn't get to make up some of the maddest possible scenes I've ever had in my head since I was a kid? For him to stand there and take the mickey out of all those monsters — is just hugely exciting.
- Steven Moffat, on The Doctor confronting his enemies in The Pandorica Opens, in an interview in Doctor Who Rewind (2011) by BBC America
- A lot of our heroes depress me. But you know, when they made this particular hero, they didn't give him a gun, they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an X-wing fighter, they gave him a call box from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat ray...they gave him two hearts. And that's an extraordinary thing. There will never come a time when we don't need a hero like the Doctor.
- Steven Moffat, on The Doctor on the Eleventh Hour Panel at the Doctor Who Celebration (24 November 2013)
- At a later stage, Dr Who would be metamorphosed into a woman. Don't you agree that this is considerably more worthy of the BBC than Doctor Who's presently largely socially valueless, escapist schlock? This requires some considerable thought – mainly because I want to avoid a flashy Hollywood 'Wonder Woman' because this kind of hero(ine) has no flaws – and a character with no flaws is a bore.
- Sydney Newman "Doctor Who Creator Sydney Newman Wanted a Female Doctor", Barry Rice, DoctorWhoWatch.com, 2015.
- He's this sort of harborer of good and fun and madness, and he's the cleverest man in the universe — and the silliest man in the universe.
- Matt Smith, in Doctor Who Rewind (2011) by BBC America
- The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who.
- Because it's got that cross-generational appeal, which few other things have. It's not a working-class thing, it's not a middle-class thing. The competition winner from Doctor Who magazine was on set today, a 15-year-old girl. When I was a kid, 15-year-old girls didn't watch Doctor Who.
- David Tennant "David Tennant", team-tennant.com.
- Here in two flat sentences are the best things I can say about our field [science fiction] on American television: Dr. Who is sometimes aired. Sometimes Battlestar Galactica is not.
- Gene Wolfe, Aussiecon Two (43rd World Science Fiction Convention) Guest of Honor speech (August 1985), as published in Gene Wolfe, Castle of Days (1992)

The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said no Czechs are believed to be among the victims of a shooting spree at a shopping centre in Munich, Germany, on Friday evening. Nine people were killed and the gunman, believed to be a 19-year-old German-Iranian, then turned the gun on himself. Around 21 people were injured. Czech police stepped up police patrols in shopping centres and increased border security after the incident. The motive for the attack is not yet known. The increased Czech border checks were cancelled Saturday.
A ceremony and commemorative events marked the 150th anniversary on Saturday of the ceasefire between the Austrian Empire and Prussia at Mikulov castle in South Moravia. The ceasefire signed at the castle in the presence of the Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck brought to an end the short lived but bloody conflict between the two powers. The decisive battle was fought at Hradec Králové. An exhibition at the castle includes the table where the ceasefire was signed. The war established Prussia as the leading Germanic power in Europe.
Minister of the Interior Milan Chovanec said on his Twitter account Saturday that there is no suggestion that a specific terrorist or other threat applies to the Czech Republic at the moment. He added that the latest information from Germany was awaited after the Munich shootings on Friday evening. A meeting of Czech interior ministry, police, and security service officials is scheduled on Saturday afternoon to evaluate the security situation. At the moment a level one security alert applies to the country. That has been in place since the Brussels attacks in March. A one to four, with four the highest, security evaluation is in place.
Minister of Transport Dan Tok has called for a ban on motor vessels at 16 locations on the Slapy and Orlík reservoirs. He also wants to recommended a 10 km/hour speed limit be put in place in adjoining areas. The move follows an incident at the start of the month where two craft collided with a young girl later dying from her injuries. Rules for craft on rivers and lakes were relaxed last year but this has resulted in criticism of reckless behaviour and the greater risk of accidents and deaths as a result.
The total Czech state debt has climbed by around 18 billion crowns in the first half of the year according to the Ministry of Finance. That means the total debt now stands at 1.691 trillion crowns or around 160,000 crowns for every single Czech citizen. The Ministry of Finance said the debt total had climbed as the result of more state bonds being issued because of the favourable financial situation.
The European Commission has warned the Czech Republic that it will take the country before the European Court of Justice over its alleged refusal to take back waste sent to Poland. The Commission made its announcement Friday, saying that the Czech Republic is obliged to take back dangerous waste. But the Czech Republic has and says it will continue to contend the description of the waste, arguing that it is a fuel mix and not dangerous. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Environment said that Prague is fully prepared to defend itself in court. The Commission has been dealing with the case since November 2014.
Czech javelin thrower Jakub Vadlejch has won his first Diamond League event. He threw 85.72 metres at the event in London in his second series of throws, ending up more than two metres ahead of reigning Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott. Previously, a second place was Vadlejch's best placing in the top athletic series of competitions.
Police say they have charged a 33-year-old woman in connection with the murder in a Prague shopping centre of another woman on Thursday. The woman was reportedly stabbed to death with a weapon found in the Tesco store in the Smichov district. Police said the murder suspect had been released earlier in the day from a Prague psychiatric hospital where she had been undergoing treatment. The Ministry of Health has demanded to be informed about the results of the investigation being carried out by the hospital. The woman is currently being held in police custody.
In athletics, Martina Sábliková has announced that she will fly out to Rio at the end of next week ahead of the Olympics. Sábliková, a three-time speed skating medal winner in the Winter Olympics, will await a decision in Brazil on whether she can take part in the road cycling competition. The Czech thought she had booked a place in the Olympics with a ninth place in a speed trial in the World Championships last year but was stunned to learn just a few months ago that that no places had been earmarked for the Czech Republic on the basis of those times. Her last hope is the verdict from an appeal to an international sporting arbitration.
The REICO investment company, owned by one of the Czech Republic's biggest banks Česká Spořitelna, is poised to buy the tallest office block in Prague, the City Tower. The pending purchase, with an estimated value of around 4.9 billion crowns, is being examined by the country's competition office. The current owner is the PPF company of the country's richest man, Petr Kellner. City Tower, at 109 metres, is the second tallest building in the country.

Heres the scenario. Base damage 400. Crit damage is another 300. Attacker gets a critical attack.

During the election, Hailu wasn't in the forefront. He wasn't seen in the debates and public gatherings a lot. As a man who isn't adept at electrifying crowds or scoring points against opponents in debates, that was probably a good decision on the part of Kinijit, and Hailu didn't seem to complain. After the election – when Kinijit started to contest the ballots – Hailu started to be seen in press conferences and newspapers more and more, giving defiant interviews and outlining Kinijit's plans to instigate popular protest. His trip to NA in August was chronicled daily by Addis Ababa based newspapers. But it was at that time that his first major conflict with some of the top Kinijit officials started. In one of the speeches in NA, he said the party wouldn't join parliament. The party had not made the decision. A lot of Kinijit supporters applauded him for that. But in the party, there was anger. A lot of Kinijit officials thought the debate was hijacked. Kinijit didn't enter parliament, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The first three months in prison was the moment of solidarity between Kinijit leaders. Decisions were debated and taken together. EPRDF sensed that and dispersed the leaders into different cells. The troubles started then. In January and February 2006, massive crack downs led to the total incapacitation of all layers of Kinijit's leadership. Kinijit activists in Ethiopia lost leadership and direction. During their meetings in court, the leaders started discussion about the leadership gap, and on May 14, 2006 a letter was sent appointing six people in the Diaspora to fill the gap. This letter prompted a serious row between two groups. A group led by Shaleka Yosef Yazew raised serious objections to it. These were the objections:
-The letter isn't authentic
-The appointment of the six means Kaliti leadership is replaced
-Some people who had been mobilizing the diaspora even before Kinijit was created weren't included in the leadership, and three out of six who were assigned to the position were Dr. Brehanu's friends
-The wording of the letter doesn't reflect Kinijit's leadership.
Shaleka Yosef and others have also expressed that there was no need for these committee as Kinijit NA can do it.
On May 26, a clarification letter was sent to NA from the prisoners. It says this:
This political leadership committee is by no means a replacement of the Ethiopian leadership. It is a delegation of authority to fill the leadership void which has been created locally and internationally. It is no more than a power of attorney which can, at any time, be revoked.
There has been a serious misinformation and disinformation regarding this matter. Therefore, we plead the above individuals rectify the divisive and damaging campaign immediately. Any dispute in the designated committee should be resolved internally and based on democratic ideals of Kinijit.
But the letter did more than that. It asked the six to add six more persons based on party lines (the three parties as EDL has no representative in the diaspora)
A day after this letter more clarification request comes from NA. The request was about:
-specific responsibilities of the committee
-and the committee's institutional relationship with Kinijit NA
On May 29, the reply to the request was sent from kaliti. This was not communicated via third parties. It was written by the chairman in his own hand writing. These were the issues that were addressed:
-The method of selecting the chairman of the committee
-quorum rules
-number of members of the committee (again)
A week later another letter was sent from Kaliti asking the committee to start its operation. Still with a lot of protest from Shaleka Yosef, the committee which was called the Kinijit International Leadership (KIL) started working. Shaleka Yosef continued writing to Hailu Shawel with claims that Brehanu's group had the grip on KIL and, therefore, Kestedemena(the party of Brehanu) was controlling Kinijit. While that was on, Brehanu Nega's Book, Ye'netsanet Goh Siked was published.
Brehanu criticized the democratic procedures of AEUP(Eng. Hailu's party) in two places. Ato Hailu couldn't read the book because of eye sight problems. It was left for Bedru Adem to read the book to him. In the book, Brehanu had written about how Bedru Adem left the party when he wasn't elected to kestedemena's executive committee. Bedru had before being imprisoned told journalists that it was Brehanu's opposition to him that made the Kestedemena members not elect him to the executice committee. Those who were in the same cell as Ato Hailu said that Bedru, the foe of Brehanu, wasn't reading the book to Ato Hailu; rather he was interpreting it.
With Ato Hailu fuming about the book, and with disgraceful letters carrying gossips coming into the prison from some diaspora activists, the personal feuds were aggravated. EPRDF sensing the problem made court breaks shorter and shorter so that the prisoners wouldn't talk to each other and sort out the problems.
Then appeared the problem in KIL. Shaleka Yosef who was stung with allegation of corruption etc(which we have no knowledge about) left KIL with three other members and they formed their own KNA. Two mediators were by the leaders who were in Eng. Hailu's cell. This led protest from the other cells that weren't consulted about it. Upon arrival in Washington, the mediators sent a recommendation to the cell that sent them to add 12 more individuals to the international leadership. Even though Hailu Shawel accepted that recommendation, the other leaders opposed it. Then the one that prompted the biggest explosion happened. When Hailu Shawel was taken to the Police Hospital for treatment, he sent a letter confirming the addition of the 12 recommended individuals. Kinijit International Council ( KIC) was formed. Six KIL members protested that the decision wasn't taken collectively by Kaliti and, thus, wouldn't accept it and didn't join KIC. Hailu Shawel's decision to accept the recommendation of Shaleka Admassie, one of the Shimagles, was probably the last straw in the relationship between him and some of his colleagues. His endorsement of Dr. Taye Woldesemait, a very popular figure in the struggle against the EPRDF, but nonetheless, one who on all occasions during and after the election opposed Kinijit's strategies and leaders didn't go well even among some of the chairman's strongest allies. The chairman, however, claimed he has emergency powers to make such decisions. Kinijit's internal working procedural law doesn't address emergency conditions. Hailu Shawel argued that this power comes naturally with chairmanship. The argument didn't persuade a lot of his colleagues.
Not long after the Formation of KIC, the leaders signed EPRDF's paper of apology. Just before they were released, they agreed to deal with the problems behind closed doors. They also agreed not to give any interviews to journalists before they met and solved the problems and other outstanding issues. But these agreements were unwrapped the day they were released. Hailu Shaewel's interview to the Associated Press infuriated some members.
From then on it was down hill in Kinijit.
Among the imprisoned, the members of the council started to have meetings and making decisions. Hailu Shawel didn't attend all except one of the meetings because he was sick. In the first meeting, the council decided to disband both KIL and KIC. Hailu Shawel signed that and was sent to the members of both groups and the media. But later on, KIC claimed that it wasn't disband.
The second decision was about constitution of groups which would travel outside of Ethiopia. Even though Hailu Shawel didn't participate in the meeting, what he wanted wasn't exactly what the council approved.
The chairman then changed his mind and asked the council not to go before the millennium. The council rejected that by majority vote. Then the issue of legalization was raised. The Hailu group claimed that because of there are problems in legalization, former parties (AEUP, Kestedemena etc) should form a coalition. The others group rejected that. The council decided against Hailu again. More, in the reconstitution of the council, the Hailu group wanted some of the former council members who weren't imprisoned and who showed suspicious behaviors not be called back. The other group suggested that there is no basis to evaluate suspicious behavior and the council should be reconstituted by all people who were members before the November crack down. Again, the council decided against the Hailu group even though the vote this time was very close.
In the past month and half, the chairman unlike the old days has persistently found his views in the minority in the council. With some people in NA calling and telling him that a coup de'tat is being orchestrated, he didn't want to accept the council's decisions. For example, he didn't want to join the delegation leaving to NA. His former party opened a bank account at the Abyssinia bank.
I have to say that a lot of the problems would have been solved had Ato Hailu been allowed to receive symmetrical information from all groups. All attempts to communicate to him from the non-Shaleka Yosef group had been unsuccessful. He was constantly told by this group that Brehanu was plotting his coup. There is no way Brehanu could replace Hailu because according to the organization's rules, only executive committee member of Kinijit can be a chairman. Brehanu isn't the member of the executive committee. He is just a member of the Kinijit council. According to the organization's rules, Hailu has twenty more months as a chairman. These are the kinds of facts Hailu Shawel is denied from getting.

Waxing gibbous moon
Moon's age: 8 days 7 hours (at noon EST)
Fraction of the Moon illuminated: 56 percent (midnight EST) 60 percent (noon EST)
On this day in 1948, Idlewild International Airport in New York City opened for business. At the time, Idlewild was the largest air passenger facility in the world; it was renamed John F. Kennedy Airport in 1963.
On this day in 1964, NASA's Ranger 7 spacecraft transimitted 4,316 images of the surface of the Moon just before it made impact on the surface, the first success of the Ranger impact probe series.
Times. Time of day is indicated as UT (Universal Time), EST (Eastern Standard Time), CST (Central Standard Time), MST (Mountain Standard Time), and PST (Pacific Standard Time). To figure Daylight Saving Time when in effect locally, subtract one hour from the time indicated for a U.S. time zone. Because of the time difference between UT and North America, at the time of a full moon or other moon phase, the date may fall a day earlier in the United States (indicated when this occurs).
Fraction of the Moon illuminated. The percentage of the front (visible) side of the moon that is lit by sunlight, with 0 percent indicating a new moon (not visible) and 100 percent indicating a full moon (no shadow visible); quarter moons are 50 percent illuminated. Below 5 percent illumination, when the lit portion is a slim crescent (on the left side for a waning moon – "old crescent moon" and on the right side for a waxing moon – "new crescent moon") it may not be visible in most locations. The percentage is computed by the Astronomical Applications Department/U.S. Naval Observatory. In the course of a 24 hour period, the percentage will either increase or decrease at a varying rate depending on the phase, with the slowest visible change occurring around the time of the full moon and the fastest visible change occurring around the time of the new moon. This is due to the effect of light from the sun illuminating the spherical surface of the Moon.
Moon's age. One complete lunation (a complete cycle from one new moon to the next new moon) occurs in an average of 29.5 days. The "moon's age" is the number of calendar days from the time of the new moon, shown here with the number of hours depicted as a rounded number. The figure listed is for noon, EST.

Back to top SumalethAdministratorMember #Joined: 30 Oct 1999Posts: 2898Location: Australia Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:24 pm Thought 1: The further away from chimpanzee DNA that human DNA becomes, in the direction Tyson is talking about, the harder it becomes for evolution to continue pushing DNA in that direction. There's even a case to be made that evolution is no longer involved in directing human DNA. So perhaps there's a sort of natural upper limit on how far any intelligence can be naturally pushed, in a positive direction, away from something like chimpanzee intelligence. Thought 2: Maybe that same limit is where self-improvement, through artificial genetic enhancement, tends to take over. Once we know precisely how DNA encodes our own intelligence, and have the tools for tweaking, it might not be all that long before human DNA takes its next 1% step. Sadly, for DeGrasse Tyson, it probably won't be in his lifetime._________________Art Links Archive -- Artists and Tutorials Back to top durgldeepmemberMember #Joined: 14 Sep 2001Posts: 859 Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:35 pm When Tyson goes supernova (aboout half way through each talk?) you can tell he's made of stardust...

However then comes the question, are robots limited to our way of thinking or can they expand beyond their circuits....=? They'll certainly be able to expand. And they'll be able to do it much faster than any biological brain could by pushed by natural evolution. They can almost do it now. You want to start by creating a simulated neural network, create lots of copies and give each copy a random starting network, and include a system for simulated "mating" (and random changes) to produce offspring networks. And then introduce a system for "selection"; in other words, a way to make less effective networks die off, and the best ones survive long enough to create the next generation. With the right selection process they will, presumably, start heading towards intelligence. It might take a long time to reach "smart", but it would take a lot less time than it took for single-cell organisms to get to quantum mechanics. Games like Black & White, Creatures, and Spore use that sort of setup, in a limited sense. And the game projects get it from the field of AI research which has been looking at it for decades.

Nick grew up in the construction industry: from being brought to jobsites in diapers by his grandfather, to working in the trades throughout high school, to project management and BIM coordination after college. Frustrated with the current state of construction software, he now spends his time programming and trying to find the best cup of coffee in Detroit.
"This simple but robust tool has saved our coordination team countless hours. The task of grouping clashes has been redefined from hours to seconds. The task of explaining where a clash occurs in the model has transformed as well. The old way was a lengthy description of column lines and directions. Now with Sherlock a click of the mouse shows the clash in plan view with a giant arrow pointing at it. This saves everyone from the draftsmen to the BIM coordinator a lot of time."
"Sherlock saves me a lot of time when I'm running clash tests. The automatic grouping feature is extremely fast and really helps out our subs. Sherlock allows me to quickly determine where the biggest problem areas are so I can spend less time clicking through clashes and more time coordinating."
"I've never used the old way of grouping clashes, but after speaking with one subcontractor whom said 3/4th of her time is just making these groups, I've seen the impact Sherlock has had. Being able to receive updated models and quickly create the groups allows me to jump right into reviewing clashes. In addition, having the option to either regroup all clashes OR keep existing groups has eliminated the time dedicated to reviewing the same clash several times."

Pursuit of real health care reform continues
NEA says Senate bill penalizes working Americans
WASHINGTON - December 24, 2009 -The National Education Association, who, with the support of its 3.2 million members, has worked hard to support comprehensive healthcare reform, today expressed disappointment that health care reform legislation passed by the Senate this morning, includes a provision that will tax the health care plans of millions of middle class Americans. Despite claims by some that the proposed excise tax could lead to increases in salaries for some workers, NEA has consistently argued that those assumptions are incorrect. The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"The 3.2 million members of NEA are very disappointed that the Senate has chosen to finance healthcare reform on the backs of teachers and bus drivers, instead of millionaires. Educators have worked tirelessly over the last 11 months to support the overall goal of quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans. While there are a number of positive provisions in the Senate healthcare legislation, the NEA adamantly opposes taxing the health benefits of middle class families. The fact that insurance companies have drastically increased premiums for our members' plans, year after year, because of factors outside their control is not the fault of our members. Public school employees have given up salary increases in order to maintain their health benefits for themselves and their families. The excise tax in the Senate bill will lead to benefit cuts and increased out-of-pocket payments for education professionals who already are struggling financially. Furthermore, educators' employers-state and local governments-are in severe fiscal crisis. Thousands of educators lost their jobs last year, and the forecast for the coming school year is worse. We categorically reject the notion that an excise tax on the health benefits of dedicated public school employees is either fair or sound policy.
"In short, the House got it right: quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans which is paid for responsibly and fairly. We are encouraged that members of the House share our belief that a nation as great as ours can bring real reform to our health care system. NEA will redouble its efforts to ensure that the conference committee reports a bill that does not ask more of education employees and other working Americans than it asks of millionaires."

UNC scientists receive National Cancer Institute grant to address cancer health disparities
The five-year, $3.9 million grant will be used to target 13 North Carolina counties through the Carolina Community Network to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities.
UNC Lineberger contact: Dianne Shaw (919) 966-5905 or email@example.com
Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010
CHAPEL HILL - Cancer is the leading cause of death in North Carolina, but it doesn't affect all citizens equally. North Carolina rates of prostate and colon cancer in African-Americans are 47 percent and 15 percent higher respectively than in Caucasians, and breast cancer deaths among African-American women are 20 percent higher than for Caucasians.
Scientists at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health have received a five-year $3.9 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to reduce these cancer health disparities in 13 North Carolina counties through the Carolina Community Network to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities.
The Carolina Community Network, established with funding from a previous grant, developed partnerships in the central Piedmont area counties of Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Guilford, Montgomery, Orange, Randolph and Rockingham, and in the eastern region counties of Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Northampton and Wilson. These partnerships were developed to increase the community's knowledge of cancer and access to and use of beneficial biomedical and behavioral programs.
With the new center grant, UNC scientists will conduct community-based participatory research and caner education and outreach activities, working with community organizations and agencies
"We're taking a three-pronged approach," explains Paul Godley, MD, PhD, MPP, principal investigator for CCN. Godley is UNC School of Medicine's executive associate dean for faculty affairs and faculty development, professor in the division of hematology/oncology and director of the Program on Ethnicity, Culture, and Health Outcomes (ECHO), a university initiative to advance understanding and elimination of racial health disparities through multidisciplinary research, education and training, and community partnerships.
"First is a research project in Guilford County using information from a previous pilot study to increase awareness of and participation in colorectal cancer screening among under- or uninsured African-Americans. What we learn can then be shared and disseminated across North Carolina and the nation. Second, we will conduct a pilot research project to improve National Cancer Institute clinical trial enrollment among African-Americans in North Carolina. Third, we will continue to increase the number of qualified cancer investigators experienced in using community-based participatory research through training, mentoring and partnering with communities.
"We are happy that the National Cancer Institute recognized the leadership of UNC faculty in expanding our well-established partnerships with community programs and organizations dedicated to decreasing cancer deaths due to health disparities and increasing cancer prevention and screening among African-Americans."
Other UNC principal investigators are faculty members of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health: Anissa I. Vines, PhD, research assistant professor of epidemiology; Alice Ammerman, DrPH, professor of nutrition and director of the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention; Marci Campbell, PhD, MPH, RD, professor of nutrition; William Carpenter, PhD, assistant professor of health policy and management; Giselle Corbie-Smith, MD, MS, associate professor of social medicine, medicine and epidemiology; Eugenia Eng, DrPH, professor of health behavior and health education, and Cathy Melvin, PhD, research associate professor of maternal and child health.
Community partnering organizations include Black Men's Health Initiative, CrossWorks, Inc, Healthy Carolinians of Orange County, Health Carolinians of Alamance County, Nia's Ark, N.C. Institute for Minority Economic Development, Rural Health Group, Inc., and the Komen NC Triangle Affiliate along with community-based groups in several North Carolina counties.
UNC is among 23 institutions across the US selected to receive a Community Networks Program Center grant from the National Cancer Institute in 2010.

Prosecution's particulars in Patel case will be struck out
FORMER surgeon Jayant Patel has been served a win after the Supreme Court granted his application to have some of the prosecution's particulars struck out.
Patel put forward an application to have the particulars struck out citing issues with causation.
Supreme Court Justice Henry Fryberg allowed the application this afternoon.
He ordered particulars relating to Patel's pre-operative care of Mervyn Morris in 2003 be struck out.
Mr Morris died in post-operative care after undergoing surgery at the Bundaberg Base Hospital.
Justice Fryberg also struck out the particular alleging the death was a consequence of Patel not correctly ascertaining Mr Morris's fitness for operation and not diagnosing the cause of Mr Morris's rectal bleed.
The Crown must file new particulars regarding Mr Morris's heart and liver disease.
Patel is scheduled to face trial for Mr Morris's manslaughter on February 6.
The former Bundaberg doctor was not in court this afternoon.

ST HELENS amateurs Thatto Heath Crusaders will take centre stage today when they host Championship outfit Dewsbury Rams in the Challenge Cup.
It is a huge day for the Crusaders, whose NWML team are also in action in the BARLA National Cup final playing West Hull at Hunslet.
The Challenge Cup game at Close Street, which will be televised and streamed on BBC sport, kicks off at 3pm.
The National Conference League Premier Division side have played in all rounds of this year's competition, defeating Stanningley, Leigh Miners Rangers, Rochdale Mayfield before knocking out League 1's North Wales Crusaders to reach the Fifth Round, a feat not achieved by an amateur club since 2016 when Lock Lane progressed to the same position.
The clubs have agreed to peg the prices for the tie to the same as last time, and a four-figure crowd is anticipated.
